Medical Officials: Gaza has Run Out of Medicine

Wednesday, 31 December 2008 10:06

According to Dr Hassunin, hospitals in Gaza are operating without any medical supplies whatsoever, while three of the main hospitals have been badly damaged. The ambulance services are now operating at 50 percent capacity due to a lack of medical and personnel resources. The entire area is now being serviced by five ambulances and three fire brigades.

The small amount of medicine that Egypt has allowed into Gaza lasted just a few hours.
